EXCITED Graham Potter knows Macc Town are under pressure - and is delighted.

The Silkmen wing-back was part of the side which 12 months ago were staring relegation in the face.

Now Macclesfield are pushing for promotion and Potter, 29, could not be happier.

He said: éIf you compare this situation with that of last season when we needed to win games to stay in the League, ités a much nicer type of pressure and ités a much nicer form of excitement.é

éEvery game we play now is a massive game really. Weéve got points to play for, promotion is there for us to try and take so thereés not really nerves about, ités just excitement and wanting to do well really.

éYou donét want to be playing in a relegation battle every year, you want to be looking for promotion and playing for honours at the top of the League.é

And the former Southampton defender is hoping to add to his six-goal tally this season - although even he has been surprised by his haul.

éItés amazing really because ités just happened for me in terms of goalscoring since Iéve been at Macc,é he admitted. éI donét really know why Iém getting so many but long may it continue.é
